About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the procurement of 2,389 temperature elements (NSN 6660-01699080l) from VAISALA INC. under a sole source acquisition authority. The justification, submitted on January 9, 2026, and awarded on March 12, 2026, cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the statutory basis for limiting competition, with the primary rationale being that the items are commercial off-the-shelf products requiring specialized quality controls classified under AMSC code Z. A market survey conducted by the agency determined that no additional manufacturing sources could be identified for these critical meteorological instruments, and a sources sought notice posted in September 2025 generated no viable responses. VAISALA INC. (CAGE 63653) was awarded the contract under FAR Part 13.5 procedures, with the estimated contract value subject to redaction and approval authority delegated to the Contracting Officer for amounts not exceeding $750,000. The acquisition was synopsized on or about January 7, 2026, with procurement to proceed under FAR's limited competition provisions.
